From the German Film “Of Girls and Horses”

Feminism has enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence recently, especially with celebrities from Emma Watson to Beyoncé proclaiming their support of new gender equality initiatives. So it seems fitting that the China Women’s Film Festival (CWFF) is now returning for a third year with events kicking off this Sunday, September 19. A week of events will follow before they move on to tour six other cities in China over the following months.

“The CWFF works to increase public awareness and visibility of female directors, feminists and women in art and film and illuminate the multitude of challenges facing women in China.” The Crossroads Centre

It’s run by the wonderful Crossroads Centre, a local not-for-profit community space, and supported by the UN Women’s HeforShe project which was launched to encourage the equal participation of men and women in working towards gender equality.
